I had my license for 1 years and a few days now... been driving 2 years... begun at the age of 16 which in canada is the legal age ! I have my own car, never had any crash or anything like that ! sure i like to speed.. who doesn't ? but I seirously doubt that raising the age to 18 won't change anything ! anyone can be an idiot young or old people on the road ! IMO, the sooner you learn the better it is ! (my dad told me that when i was learning how to drive) just wanted to share my thoughts !
